Mo and I get some quality beach time together |
I haven't forgotten about you, blog and loyal readers! I've just been thoroughly consumed with my 3 week US jaunt. Already hit up 3 cities, 2 graduation celebrations, and 1 big family weekend to celebrate my Opa's 80th birthday. What's left? A week in DC... catching up with old work colleagues, tying up loose ends, seeing friends and celebrating another birthday, and spending quality time with the family.

There are a fair amount of highlights to share already, from sipping Perrier Jouet poolside, to doing serious damage at American outlet malls, to singing two entire Backstreet Boys albums in a car ride with my sister, and having a "business meeting" with my Opa and cousins just like the old days. It's been all that I hoped for, and all I could ask for before heading back to Berlin, no return-ticket in hand.

Rolling Thunder in DC with the family |
And I've learned a thing or two on this trip. Things like, all you
need for a fun game is a paper bag (thanks, Evan), a few months out of
the US means you are completely out of the loop (Carly Rae who?),
Americans are pretty defensive of their beer these days (no arguments
from me, I am sick of Pilsner), going to graduations at both my Alma
Maters within the course of a week makes for a weird combo of feelings,
and that really, Berlin is only a plane ride (or two) away.

Oh man, I love bite the bag. Do we have pictures from that game? America has loved having you, Ms. Sophia.
We are going to need to talk a whole lot more about weird combos of feelings....
